Ladder 44

This 2001 E-1 Quint is Estero Fire Rescue’s first aerial truck. It can hoist a water line 75′ in the air. The truck carries 500 gallons of water and can pump 1250 gallons per minute when attached to a hydrant. The nozzle at the top of the ladder can be remote controlled from the ground and deliver up to 1000 gallons per minute. This vehicle is called a ‘quint’ because the aerial ladder adds a fifth capability to the 4 found on a regular pumper.
